Dear Friends, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet enters its 23rd season with optimism and excitement for all that lies ahead. This will be a year punctuated by notable national and international touring, and, as always, a vibrant series of performances in our home communities of Santa Fe and Aspen. Our 2018-19 season kicked off in great style as Aspen Santa Fe Ballet made its anticipated return to France, performing at the prestigious Festival Le temps d’aimer la danse à Biarritz. Joining us on the trip were twenty dedicated National Council members who spent five days enjoying the rich culture of the Basque region and cheering on our dancers as they soaked in the thunderous applause at the magnificent Théâtre du Casino de Biarritz overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. (pg 14) We invite you to travel with us again as we cross the ocean to make our second appearance in Israel. We are honored to be invited back to this culturally-rich epicenter of dance with an extended two-week tour that includes six performances in Tel-Aviv, as well as appearances in Yagur, Modiin, and . (pg 6) Our milestone collaboration with pianist Joyce Yang was a clear winner last season, garnering great interest around the country. This season, Ms. Yang will join us to perform this dynamic program in Dallas, Denver, Scottsdale, and in New York with a week-long run at the Joyce Theater—our ninth appearance! (pg 7) ASFB’s dance-company-in-residence status at the stunning Soroya Performing Arts Center (formerly Valley Performing Arts Center) on the campus of CSUN in Northridge was originally slated for three consecutive years. Due to the success of this partnership, we are happy to announce that our residency status has been extended into the foreseeable future with our fourth appearance scheduled for January 2019. This year’s summer galas in both Aspen and Santa Fe were inspired by the famed New York dance club, Studio 54. Our entire year hinges on the success of these celebrations and these events did not disappoint! We are grateful to all of you who came to dance the night away and showed your commitment to our company through your generosity. (pg 12) Preparations are currently underway for Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s annual production of The Nutcracker. One of the season’s biggest endeavors, the company expands with the addition of eighteen guest performers who supplement our cast of ASFB dancers and more than 120 children from The School of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet. Don’t miss this holiday classic. (pg 11) Given the popularity of performances such as The Nutcracker, we have put together a few tips and tricks that will help ensure you get access to your preferred seats. (pg 5) We invite you to mark your calendars for our upcoming ticket on-sale dates and join us for another great season of dance! Your enthusiasm and support mean everything to us.

NEWPORT BEACH | ASPEN | PALM BEACH | 866.584.2666 | LUGANODIAMONDS.COM Bringing ASFB’s The Nutcracker to the Stage

An annual holiday tradition for families in both Aspen and Santa Fe, The Nutcracker is a staple of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet's winter season. Featuring hundreds of students from The School of ASFB’s many locations in both the Roaring Fork Valley and Santa Fe areas alongside our professional company and another dozen or so guest dancers from across the country, it is also no small feat to bring this massive spectacle to the stage year after year. Whether it’s casting all of the various roles, auditioning extras to perform as snowflakes and flowers, or simply managing the storage of all of the costumes and set pieces, it truly takes an army of dedicated staff, faculty, and volunteers to bring it all together. Here is a quick look behind the scenes at just a few of these components. Casting Students Every September the faculty of The School of ASFB begins piecing together the Nutcracker casting puzzle. With 173 students enrolled in this year’s production and waitlists that were completely full three weeks before the sign-up deadline, the majority of students will end up sharing roles with up to three others in order to accommodate everybody across the four performances. Some students, such as the party girls, soldiers, and mice will each perform twice, while others like bees, blocks, and candy canes perform once. For a select group of seniors in the school, this year brings a sought-after opportunity to dance with the professional company members in the "Waltz of the Flowers" that opens the second act of the ballet. The students undertake this commitment very seriously, with many commuting long distances to attend mandatory rehearsals. Hiring Extras The Nutcracker is by far the largest-scale production that Aspen Santa Fe Ballet puts on each year and, as such, requires hiring a slew of guest dancers to supplement ASFB’s own company of ten professionals. In addition to booking returning featured dancers like Russian folk dancers Irina Kleyfeld and Boulat Moukhametov and aerialist Katrina Amerine, ASFB Directors Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom Mossbrucker review applications from dancers across the country who will come in and fill the ranks of flowers and snowflakes needed for The Nutcracker. This year’s audition tour brought Jean-Philippe and Tom to the brand new Glorya Kaufman School of Dance at USC. Keep an eye out for these new dancers in this year’s production, as you never know when they might be invited to join the company, as was the Proud Supporter of the Arts and the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet case with ASFB’s most recent company member, Jenny Winton. Setting the Stage When dealing with a largescale production such as this one that occurs on an annual basis, setting up and breaking down the set become quite an ordeal! The sets and costumes travel from the company storage unit to the theaters in both Aspen and Santa Fe in one 53-foot semi-truck and fill every last inch of the trailer. The costumes alone fill eight crates that each hold between 80-100 different costumes. It takes a crew of 12-15 people up to 20 hours of load-in time to be ready for the first rehearsal and you never know what surprises might be uncovered in the 20 pieces of scenery that hang over the stage after a year in storage. Those same 20 pieces of overhead scenery weigh approximately 5,000 lbs total, and must be safely rigged to ensure they stay secure during all of the performances. Luckily, there are 15 crew members running the show and working for hours to ensure that everything goes smoothly! NEWPORT BEACH | ASPEN | PALM BEACH | 866.584.2666 | LUGANODIAMONDS.COM
